You're not my type, Noel :lol:

Asha, My father was 300 lbs back when I was a teen, he moved from Washington to California and started walking. Just walk, put on some music, walk with a friend, but walk for 20 minutes a day.

That being said, I totally understand the urge to pull the trigger on something other than your normal meal, just make…

Just downloaded MFP in the last few days and just now getting onto the forums, add me! Also, open diary (though there's not much there yet :smile:)
